June 12: Getting Needs Met

Curated from Melody @ Language of Letting Go who writes:

I want to change careers…. I need a friend…. I’m ready to be in a relationship….

Regularly, we become aware of new needs. We may need to change our behavior with our children. We may need a new couch, love and nurturing, a dollar, or help.

Do not be afraid to recognize a want or need. The birth of a want or need, the temporary frustration from ac­knowledging a need before it’s met, is the start of the cycle of receiving what we want. We follow this by letting go, then receiving that which we want and need. Identifying our needs is preparation for good things to come.

Acknowledging our needs means we are being prepared and drawn to that which will meet them. We can have faith to stand in that place in between.

Today, I will let go of my belief that my needs never get met. I will acknowledge my wants and needs, then turn them over to my Higher Power. My Higher Power cares, sometimes about the silliest little things, if I do. My wants and needs are not an accident. God created me, and all my desires.

Higher Love!!!

Good morning, world! Bring me a higher love!!! Crank it up…

Well, I appreciate good blues even if the people in ‘Yeaman’ don’t. Thanks for sharing…

i went to a blues concert last night by Jake La Botz, a man who partied his demons to death and came out the other side with a sacred clarity that is so scarred it’s poetic.

While the show was superb, the thing i didn’t like about it were the drunks. The gig was in a cafe here in Yeaman and most of the patrons were either too young to know the blues or too drunk to feel them.

Then, in a moment of clarity, i realized that this is Live Music. It also explains why i prefer to sit at home and listen to studio recordings through my headphones; still, in a live concert the noise and the talking and the mistakes are all part of the music. That’s when i understood that Life is “Live”. That even if i want Life to be a pure and flawless studio…

Coming to a summer near you…

Don’t miss these summer blockbusters:

The smell of fresh cut clover.

The heat and sounds of a summer evening.

Early morning walks in a wood.

The smell of charcoal mixed with the taste of a first sip of cold beer.

Tracking fireflies in a clearing at night.

Hot blacktop on bare feet.

The silence of fishing.

A breeze carrying lilac.

Rabbits grazing at dawn and dusk.

A long conversation outside.

Reading under the shade of maple (or oak or any other) tree.

A swim in a cool lake.

Standing in a cold stream.

Bach on a sunny Sunday morning.

Bottle rockets launching.

Garden tomatoes with salt and pepper.

A wet dog running in circles around the yard to dry off.

The cheers coming from a local baseball park.

A thunder storm.

The taste of a fresh peach.

The cool of a deep woods.

The overture to Mendelssohn’s Midsummer Night’s Dream in mid-summer.

10 TV Rules You Must Have

Did you ever walk into a friend’s home for coffee and conversation and feel overwhelmed by the distraction of a big honking TV, right there in the living room, running some mindless show and competing for everyone’s attention?

Are you constantly worried about what kind of trash Junior might be watching at all hours on the TV in his room?

Is TV the dominant social presence in your home?

Are you afraid to limit your kids’ usage because you’ve tried to go down that road before and it was nothing but whining and complaining and breaking the rules?

If you answered “YES!”, or have any other TV issues constantly in the back of your mind, then it’s time to step up and establish manageable standards and limits in your home. There’s nothing to be afraid of, and a whole lot to look forward to once you get over the hump and introduce protocols that are fair and consistent.

Here are “10 Rules” from All Pro Dad that should help right the ship just in time for the summer break from school.” Get more here: 10 TV Rules You Must Have | All Pro Dad.
